Plan

So I don't have any definite goal at this point, but I've decided to start on some kind of plan. I figured I would post to give the blog some action. The goal is to mix in a variety of exercises and set/rep schemes. It's 3 days of lifting, 2 days of cardio, and 2 days off. The goal is to better on each exercise every time I rotate into it. Right now, I don't lift getting psyched up or holding any 'block' in my abdomen.

Day 1 - Bench/Upper back/Lower assistance (squat focus)
Day 2 - Light cardio 20-30 mins, stretching
Day 3 - Squat/Upper assist (pec)/Posterior chain assistance
Day 4 - Off
Day 5 - Deadlift/Upper assist (shoulder)/Misc (quads, abs, etc)
Day 6 - Cardio intervals 15-20 mins, stretching
Day 7 - Off

Again, "deadlift" doesn't mean deadlifts necessarily, but some major deadlift movement like good mornings, deads, etc..

Recent exploits: (not impressive, but improving)
Bench - 235x5
Press - 145x4 (terrible, but sadly this is about as good as I ever did)
Front squat - 225x5
Box squat - 275x5 (harder than I wanted), 315x1 (really easy)
Deadlift - 365x1 (easy, double overhand)
Good morning - 275x5

  5. Welcome back to serious training. What do you mean by "don't lift getting psyched up"? I can't imagine lifting heavy without the usual routine of ...
    -4 hrs --> -2 hrs: watch the Vogelphol XXX video (must wear flames hat)
    -2 hrs --> -1 hr: general warmpup and light stretching (with rocky soundtrack in ipod).
    -1 hr --> start: There are no sleds or prowlers in Tel-Aviv, so instead, just walk to the gym and practice some push-pull combination (such as throwing random people in random directions). Needless to say, the flames hat and rocky soundtrack are still on.
